President Clinton explained very well the accomplishments of President Obama. If President Obama would not have taken the actions he did, there is no doubt in my mind that we would have had a depression. We have to remember the job losses before he was President. His swift actions stopped the "free fall" of the economy.
Tax cuts are creating jobs? Well, if that is true then we should have had a very low unemployment rate under the Bush Presidency. The opposite was true.Towards the end of his second term the job losses were in a gigantic "free fall".
Deregulation? What a joke! Look what happened with Wall Street. We need regulations for the financial industry and other public sectors.
Health Care - you cannot leave it up to each individual State as Romney suggested. What happens when one is moving from one State to another State? Changing jobs? What happens to pre-existing conditions? Romney said that they are covered if you have been insured before and it would be up to the States to decide. Are we not united? We are the United States of America and our health care and educational systems should be the same in each State.
We have to invest in education. More teachers are needed. Education is so important for the future.
It should be mandatory for new teachers to have a one to two year residency. We have a residency for doctors, we have apprenticeships for other professions, so why not for teachers. They can work as an assistant to the established teacher in a class room. They will learn the teaching skills needed and this also will weed out those teachers who discover that teaching is not for them. Everybody will benefit, especially the students.
Why do Romney and Ryan use most of the time just slogans and then when asked about details they say that there is not enough time to explain the details? Whenever I hear this, the following statement comes into my mind : ...uninformed people are better to manipulate''..
For example Romney says that Obama has cut millions of dollars in Medicare. Not true - he did cut the premiums paid by the government to private insurance companies called Medicare Advantage. These cuts have added many years to the life of the Medicare Fund.
The next few weeks will be interesting. Please inform yourself and find out details before you make a decision and vote.
Have a great day!
